Chapter 309: Farming and Infrastructure Construction in Primitive Society 24
What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. The contradiction between the inner city and the outer city of Huangyan City is due to people’s psychological imbalance.
Even if the life of the residents in the outer city of Huangyan City is more than ten times better than that of other tribes, there will still be people who are dissatisfied, because they think that the conditions in the inner city are better.
So this group of dissatisfied people gathered into a team and tried to revolt and overthrow the current managers of Huangyan City.
Huangyan City is now famous. Everyone knows that Huangyan City is rich and the residents are happy, but they know nothing about the military power of Huangyan City.
The scale of the team in this uprising is not small, and there are thousands of people.
These people are composed of different tribes, and some of them do not even live in Huangyan City at all, but are from outside tribes who come here specifically to make trouble and try to get a piece of the pie.
"People of the Huangyan tribe, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you built a city."
"We need fairness. We, the people of the outer city, should have the same power as the people of the inner city. If you don't agree, then we will be the city lord!"
These people from the outer tribes have been lurking for a long time.
They work hard here, and everyone uses their labor rewards to exchange for iron tools.
In the past, the reason why the Huangyan tribe was feared was because they had iron tools.
But now it's different. Everyone has iron tools, so who is afraid of them?
"City Lord, we can't let them off lightly. Let them see how powerful our Huangyan tribe is!"
"City Lord, we are new Huangyan people, but we also have to protect our homeland!"
"Huangyan City accepted this group of people, but I didn't expect it to raise a group of enemies, bah!"
The people in the inner city were excited and wanted to rush out and fight these ungrateful people to the end, so that they could see the bloodiness of the people in the tribe!
Jiang Lan stopped them, "Don't be anxious, let's see how many people are really on their side."
It is certain that the level of residents in the outer city of the Huangyan tribe is uneven. When there are too many people, it will naturally be mixed, especially many people come with ulterior motives.
Taking this opportunity, we can just clean up a batch of termites.
"The Lord of Huangyan City, Jiang Lan! Why are you silent? How can a woman be so timid?"
"The Huangyan tribe is too bad. They let a woman ride on their heads and bully others for so many years. No wonder there are no decent warriors!"
The people of Huangyan were furious. In their eyes, Jiang Lan was a messenger of God.
Those who insulted the messenger of God were unforgivable and must be punished.
The more Jiang Lan remained silent, the more arrogant the people attacking the city below the tower became. They swore and stank.
The people present changed their faces and clenched their fists, wishing they could smash the rebel's head with one punch.
Jiang Lan, the person involved, was very calm. She pretended not to hear the dirty words and observed the reaction of the rebels below.
After the army downstairs had been shouting for more than ten minutes, Jiang Lan stood in front with a loudspeaker and started his first speech.
"Since the establishment of Huangyan City, I have never wronged anyone. If you still have a conscience, then leave the rebels and Huangyan City will forgive you!"
Jiang Lan's ultimatum was interpreted as fear by the rebels, and they immediately burst into laughter.
"Lan, just give up on this idea. We are all people with tribes. Who wants to stay in your Huangyan City forever? From now on, this will be our city!"
Jiang Lan ignored the rebels' shouting, and instead issued a final ultimatum to the onlookers and those mixed in the crowd.
"Those who watched or participated in the rebel activities will be permanently expelled from Huangyan City, including your families. I will count to three now. Those who leave immediately will be forgiven!"
"One! Two! Three... The countdown is over."
Jiang Lan counted three times, but these people still refused to cry until they saw the coffin.
The opportunity has been given, so don't blame me for being rude if you don't cherish it.
"Hahaha, don't fight. There are only a few people in your Huangyan tribe, all of them are old, weak, women and children. How can you compare with us?"
Jiang Lan smiled cruelly, "You will know soon."
She waved her hand, and a black cylinder stretched out from the holes on the city wall.
The rebels had a bad premonition, but it was too late for them to escape at this point, so they could only rush in with all their might.
"Charge in, Huangyan City is ours!"
"Fire!"
The sound of cannons roared, resounding through the sky, accompanied by a burst of dazzling fire. The rebels who rushed to the front and shouted had been blown into several pieces. There were
still some people who were killed on the ground. They were blown black and their previous appearance was completely unrecognizable.
In the era of cold weapons, hot weapons are invincible.
Just one cannon shot scared all the rebels silly, and they knelt down to surrender.
I thought they could sit back and relax with iron tools, and I thought the Huangyan tribe was stupid, but I didn't expect that they were the stupidest.
Come to think of it, they dared to release artifacts like iron tools, which means they must have better things.
Those who were still hesitating whether to leave the rebels just now are now completely helpless.
They know that they are finished. They have finally lived a good life in Huangyan City, but now because of their greed, they have implicated their entire family.
They regret it endlessly, but there is no medicine for regret in life.
Jiang Lan showed no mercy to the remaining hundreds of captives.
She used a spy trick to find out several high-ranking rebels who were hiding among them, and all of them were sentenced to death, as a warning to others.
As for the indecisive and greedy soldiers behind her, they were all put in shackles and arranged to mine. They did not receive any wages for mining.
As for the families of these people, Jiang Lan drove them all out of Huangyan City without any hesitation.
Eating in the inner city and betraying the outsiders must not be tolerated. In Huangyan City, you must abide by the rules of Huangyan City.
Ordinary people can live well in the outer city by working honestly. If they know how to accumulate, it is only a matter of time before they join the inner city.
Since you want to take shortcuts out of greed, or even take risks, you must accept the final result.
In this purge, Huangyan City directly expelled several thousand people.
You have to know that the Huangyan tribe only had a few hundred people at the beginning, and several thousand people were equivalent to the total number of people in several tribes.
But the strange thing is that even though so many people were expelled, the outer city of Huangyan City was not affected at all, and the public security was better than before.
"Lan, why is this?"
"If a person can get what he wants through labor, then he will not think about making trouble. People who make trouble are often the kind of people who don't want to pay but want to get."
This shows that several thousand people were not people who loved to work and make contributions.
The rules of the Huangyan tribe cannot be said to be absolutely fair, but relative fairness can still be achieved.
Medical and educational resources are limited, and the inner city cannot absorb an unlimited number of people, but for those who work hard, Jiang Lan has left a door for them.
Talented people can participate in various competitions and get admission tickets to the inner city.
Talented people can get admission tickets to the inner city through inventions and creations. Lucky
people can get admission tickets to the inner city by contributing items. Powerful
people can get admission tickets to the inner city by accumulating wealth.
If you have none of these and are just an ordinary person, you can work and live in Huangyan City for 10 years and get admission tickets to the inner city.
After all, if you want to enjoy a better life, ability and loyalty are both necessary conditions.
As long as Huangyan City continues to develop, there will be no shortage of people, and Jiang Lan certainly won't regret this wave of people leaving.
Later they will know how much it costs to do something stupid.
